Well lets break it down then:
We started ranked in the preseason at #17.
The games we played
Win- Tennessee Tech who finished 5-6 (4-4) after beating Jacksonville State 35-24.
Win- Louisiana Monroe 5-7 (4-4)
Win- Georgia 6-6 (3-5)
Loss- #1 Alabama 9-3 (5-3)
Win- #17 Texas A&M 9-3 (6-2) Big 12 south co-champs
Loss- #2 Auburn 12-0 (8-0) probable SEC Champs
Win- Ole Miss 4-8 (1-7)
Win- Vandy 2-10 (1-7)
Win- #18 Carolina 9-3 (5-3) SEC East Champs
Win- UTEP 6-6 (3-5)
Win- #21 Ms. State 8-5 (4-4)
Win #5 LSU 10-2 (6-2)
Final Poll Rank #8
Bowl appears to be the Sugar
We went from the opening game to the final game ranked in the polls for the first time since 1989.
We are on the cusp of an 11 win season for the first time since 1977.
The team has shown continued improvement throughout the season. When called upon due to injuries, the back ups have shown to be more than capable. Has anyone noticed that we had true freshmen playing in the secondary the past couple of games?
So was the season successful? Yes.
Could it have been better? Of course, we were competitive and led in the 4th quarter of both losses.
Was those two losses disappointing? Absolutely.
